FAQs:
What are the primary applications for these custom CNC milled stainless steel hollow shells?
These shells are designed for medical and laboratory equipment, including ventilated enclosures for portable monitors, infusion pump controllers, analyzers, centrifuges, sterilization baskets, and wearable medical devices like prosthetic limbs and sensor housings.
What materials and manufacturing processes are used for these enclosures?
They are fabricated from AISI 304 stainless steel using high-precision, multi-axis CNC milling. This process machines solid blocks to create unified shells with integrated patterns, allowing for 3D contours and complex features in a single piece.
What finishes and secondary operations are available for these hollow shells?
Standard finishes include satin brushed, bead blasted, and vibratory polished, with premium options like mirror polishing and electropolishing. Secondary operations can include tapped holes, EMI shielding gasket grooves, integral hinges, and laser etching for labels or logos.
How does CNC milling from solid stock benefit these enclosures compared to sheet metal fabrication?
CNC milling from solid stock allows for the creation of true 3D contours, integrated mounting bosses, and complex internal features alongside patterned cut-outs in a single, rigid piece. This results in superior structural integrity, durability, and cleanability compared to assembled sheet metal parts.
